Champions Cup: first day, with a home match for Stade Rochelais. The Maritimes started the competition with the reception of the Glasgow Warriors.
First period
Laborious start of the Maritimes. The Scots unfold phases of the game without much pressure, and take control of the score thanks to the faults conceded by La Rochelle. 0 to 6 in the 27th minute. The Warriors convert two of the three penalties conceded with Ross Thompson. The maritime awakening will only take place at the 31st minute with a try from left pounder Reda Wardi taken in the embut by her pack.
Retiere injured knee, taken out on stretcher
Like a reaction after Arthur Retière’s injury exit. The La Rochelle winger hit in the ankle goes out on a stretcher in the 24th minute. West passes the conversion, and a penalty in the 39th minute. 10 to 6 at the break, with the feeling that La Rochelle has regained control of the match. To be confirmed in the second period.
Second half and reactions to come.
